ok sorry for making another thread about the plz dont lock it until i get an anwser but are people stilling getting QoS'd on Irishbroadband????

Shiny

Yes
Full speed between the times 6.35pm and 8.30 am

outside these times I am limited to 25k/sec

Emerson

25kbyte / 256kbit?

or is that 25kbit.. ie slower than dial up?

What about the upload speed? Exactly the same?

Mutant_Fruit

he means 25KBytes/sec. (256kbps). and thats 25kBytes/sec up and 25kBytes/sex down.

Irishpimp

Read the IBB upgrade thread. The QoS is meant to be turned off already, when I rang them they were apologetic and just changed a setting and I was back up to 2mb.

Don't let this sway you off them.

Irishpimp

um just a bit weary signing a 12month contract lol

Yeah really what package r u on? Cause I’m on 20:1 1MB package and still not upgraded Should I ring up too?

I was on the €50 1mb package but recently I was upgraded to 2mb package. Last time I rang them (late last week) I asked about everyone being upgraded to 2mb and they said it will be taking place of the next few weeks.

Does IBB for definite have a 12 month min contract, because in their FAQ page it says there was/is no contract
'Do I have to sign a contract with Irish Broadband?

With Irish Broadband there is NO contract. Terms and conditions apply.'

Ripwave - No contract (because there is no install)

Breeze - 12 month contract. (because expensive equipment has to be installed)

Irishstabber

Ok thanks for clearing that up. Now I have a decision to make. Stay with UTV until NTL(3mb package) open their Finglas exchange or go to IBB 2mb for 12 months

causal

From IBB Residential Breeze Order Form

“Minimum Period” means the term commencing on date of
installation of the Equipment and the date twelve (12) months
thereafter.

From Ripwave Order Form

‘Notice Date” means the date 30 (thirty) days after written
notice is given to the Service Provider by the Subscriber
requesting termination of the Service;

“Subscription Period” means the entire term of this Agreement,
until cancelled by either Party upon thirty (30) days’ notice.

This Agreement will commence on the Commencement Date,
and will continue for the Subscription Period. The Subscriber
must pay Subscription up to the Notice Date.

‘Notice Date” means the date 30 (thirty) days after written
notice is given to the Service Provider by the Subscriber
requesting termination of the Service;

“Commencement Date” means the commencement of this
Agreement, which shall be the date on which the Service
Provider agrees to provide the Service;

So it would seem that Breeze is a 12 month contract; but Ripwave is a rolling 1 month contract.

hth,

Well my question is fully answered. Thanks for the input. Ill put it to good use

jesus_thats_gre

They tested their QOS software and their customers were not happy with it. They responded by getting rid of the QOS..

I think this says alot about IBB and in general I have nothing but good things to say about IBB. I would recommend them to anybody to be honest.
